My Take on the Game
Get behind the music and take control of the beat and the music itself in this new game. Talk about awesome, I have to say that this game was SO much fun to play and to experience. As someone who is a huge fan of all types of music, this game really takes you behind the music and allows you to be in the driver seat. While the graphics may remind you of of some of the dance games of the past, this game has you become the director and by the end your arms will probably be a bit tired, but the reason is that you are now the conductor and in control, so keep up with the music! I also have to comment and commend the makers on the variety of music selected for this game. There is a bit of everything for any music lover, and I'm sure that as time goes on more music will become available too. If you love music and have always wanted to be in the driver seat to the music that you have heard, strap yourself in and jump on for a fun ride, you will be glad that you did!
